[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5581555, member: 24302"] Russia was the Soviet Union then, and plans were made to destroy the U.S. with a preemptive strike from Cuba. A British businessman was receiving on behalf of British intelligence top secret documents from a high up Russian official that exposed that. That led to the Cuban Missile Crisis. That was 61 years ago. Today both countries have nuclear subs that, if ICBM's were launched preemptively in hopes of knocking out the other country, those subs could retaliate. So the only real way it's likely to happen is if the country was being overwhelmed by invading troops and felt it was their only.option. They aren't going to strike us over Ukraine. Putin might use small tactical nukes to beat Ukraine if he's losing. But that would for sure isolate Russia economically. There's more to it than just shooting off nukes because you're mad. [/QUOTE]
